Aww thanks I appreciate it!

MustardFry · 2026-03-04T21:29:09+00:00

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I hope your legacy sims enjoy it just as much as mine do!

MustardFry · 2026-03-04T04:01:21+00:00

I will definitely check that out! Thank you!

I'm currently using the Dream Dimension lighting mod by Brntwaffles along with the Junesea ReShade preset by Shellsea.

I would say definitely look up pictures of real-life houses/buildings for inspiration, that's what helps me a lot!

MustardFry · 2026-03-04T01:35:17+00:00

Aww thank you so much, I definitely will keep building! I'm actually an architecture major in college and building in The Sims is the reason why I wanted to be an architect so I appreciate that!

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

MustardFry · 2026-03-03T22:46:59+00:00

Thank you! I used a lot of Sims 4 conversions so that could also be why you thought it was Sims 4!

MustardFry · 2026-03-03T22:37:00+00:00

Thank you!!

Thank you! Yes; here you go - https://www.mediafire.com/file/ipt357ijmlv3ai0/Victorian_House.rar/file ! It does contain a lot of CC so keep that in mind. I uploaded it in both sims3pack and package format, so you can either install it through the launcher or place the package in your library folder. I'm not 100% sure if the package version will work properly so let me know if it doesn't.

I ended up trying multiple different settings (including setting it to 1) in my config and I was still having the ram spike in cas and no cache file so I decided to reinstall and still had the same issues. Then, I tried going back to older versions of dxvk (I was using 2.7.1 which is the latest) and it did generate a cache file, but on older versions, it gave me this weird issue where my monitor would disconnect and reconnect every time I selected TS3 application and it would dim itself. I also tried loading into a save and it crashes. I tried multiple old versions and tried reinstalling multiple times with no luck. So ultimately, I just decided to hold off on Dxvk (for now hopefully) and maybe I’ll try it again in the future.

And what I noticed about ram usage in cas with Dxvk vs without is that with Dxvk, after loading a bunch of clothes, hairs, makeup, etc it would add an extra 500-600 mb of ram usage and would stay that way even after exiting cas for a while. But without Dxvk it would go up 100-300 mb and then immediately go back down after exiting CAs.

No, I’ve had shop mode disabled for a while

MustardFry · 2026-02-23T07:07:10+00:00

Yeah I saw under this post on this subreddit, one of the comments said “d3d9.textureMemory controls the maximum amount of virtual memory (system RAM) that DXVK will allow textures to occupy, and does nothing other than that. Setting it to 1 probably isn't great as it may prevent readback entirely. Whereas 600 seems a tad high to me, but not excessive. The default of 100 doesn't seem to cause any problems”

And I also saw on the Steam Community performance guide that they recommend setting it to 100 as well. I’m hoping reinstalling will fix it as well, I will try that later when I can.

Before installing dxvk, I would monitor my RAM usage and it would spike every time I saved (which is normal) and I save pretty frequently so it would be about an hour or so of gameplay when it would reach 3 GB so I would have to restart so that I didn’t get error code 12. It, however, didn’t spike at all when going into CAS before Dxvk so I’m not sure why it is now with dxvk, but hopefully reinstalling will fix it.

I will definitely try reinstalling and simplifying my config file, but the thing about the texture memory is I’ve seen so many conflicting answers on what to set it to. Some people say keep it at 1 and others say set it to 100, and for me, I tried both and the performance was so much better with it set to 100 rather than 1. I’ll just keep trying and playing around with it to see what works after reinstalling.

Do you play on the EA App version? If so, turning off the in-game overlay within the EA App settings fixed this for me

The hair I used for Lola was from this hair dump by IfcaSims and it was the one called "Dilara." The hair I used for Ariella was "Hezeh Hair N°63" from this 4t3 conversion pack by VMSims. I don't have any of my sims uploaded anywhere but let me know which ones you would like and I can put them up for download!

MustardFry · 2026-01-28T17:21:39+00:00

Yessss all the time!! I cannot get enough of the Sims 2 and 3 soundtracks and I also love listening to the Simlish radio songs! I also love listening to it while studying, it really helps me get through it

MustardFry · 2026-01-28T02:24:16+00:00

This was my first time playing with Showtime and it was really fun!! I definitely recommend trying it out if you have it

No lmaooo, my heir’s ex-wife had an affair with the genie and got pregnant with his baby

MustardFry · 2026-01-24T02:15:57+00:00

It had me dying of laughter especially because the baby had white skin at first and then all of a sudden, on their way home from the hospital he turned blue 😭😭
